Karmi Necropolis

In
the archaelogical excavations close to the Karmi village,
tombs in the shape of rooms belonging to the Middle Bronze
Age have been discovered.

The
human effigy in the corridors of one of these tombs, is the
oldest effigy found in Cyprus so far. The effigy symbolizes
the Goddess of Fertility.

Blue
beads thought to have been gifts for the dead, and bowls belonging
to the Minos civilisation brought from Crete were found in
the graves. These things may have belonged to the sailors
working on the ships in Lapithos.

These
show the level of commercial activities with the neighbouring
countries in the Bronze age.
